President Cyril Ramaphosa has yet to make a decision on the fate of embattled Health Minister Zweli Mkhize, who is on special leave, regarding the Department of Health’s controversial R150 million Covid-19 communications contract.
Pretoria – Even though he has received the report of the Special Investigating Unit which probed the Department of Health’s controversial R150 million Covid-19 communications contract awarded to Digital Vibes, President Cyril Ramaphosa has yet to make a decision on the fate of embattled Health Minister Zweli Mkhize, who is on special leave.
Journalists asked Ramaphosa if he was considering reconfiguring his cabinet, considering that South Africa does not have a substantive health minister – despite the country battling a precarious Covid-19 pandemic. ’’So it is an ongoing process of evaluation and all that. It’s not something that we would say it is an outlandish process. We continue to look at it”.
“What are you trying to get me to say… that I am going to fire ministers and all that? As I said, the process of people who are deployed to work with any leader even in a cabinet situation is a process that you evaluate, and it’s best to leave it there. It is best to leave it there. It is a process that one does, as one evaluates everything and everyone that you work with,” Ramaphosa responded to journalists’ queries in Tembisa, Gauteng.
